From the Back Cover

“

Dieron. Prefecture capital, District headquarters, a lynchpin resource and industrial world for the mighty Draconis Combine. One of the Word of Blake's major successes at the onset of the Jihad, they would not let go of Dieron without a fight. Jihad Turning Points: Dieron fleshes out all the details of the conflict surrounding this pivotal world published in various Jihad Plot Sourcebooks. Additionally, players can join one of the myriad of units fighting for ultimate control of one of the Dragon's precious resource worlds. The Word of Blake has turned the world into a major stumbling block, centered around the ancient and massive Fortress Dieron. This campaign series uses the Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns and even creating their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a “Dieronese flavor.” This PDF-exclusive book includes a detailed map of Dieron, a comprehensive list of the forces involved on Dieron during its nine-year occupation, and several Tracks for players can use to run simple lance-on-lance battles or stage a complete world-wide invasion. The only limit is the players' imagination.
